What it is: Exercise stresses your body, and without some stress, your muscles would never grow. But too much stress is bad. It increases the production of cortisol—a catabolic stress hormone produced by the adrenal gland—which leads to muscle loss and fat gain. Control excess cortisol production with C3 (Cortisol Control Complex), which helps you achieve maximum leanness and maintain muscle mass. C3 is designed to: Support lean mass Combat exercise-induced stress Serving Size: 2 capsules Supplement Facts Serving size 2 capsules Amount Per Serving Green Tea (leaf) 225 mg Catechins 200 mg Epigallocatechine Gallate (EGCG) 135 mg Phosphatidylserine (from soy) SerinAid 150 mg Ashwagandha (leaf, root) Sensoril 125 mg Oligosaccharides 40 mg Withanolides 10 mg Theanine 100 mg Beta Sitosterol (from plant sterols) 50 mg Choline (as choline bitartrate) 50 mg Inositol 50 mg How to use it: Take 2 capsules 1-2 times per day before meals and/or exercise. Q&A Q: What does C3 contain to help you overcome exercise-induced stress, fight fat and maintain muscle? A: SerinAid Phosphatidylserine—Aids in cognitive function and adaptation to exercise-induced stress. SerinAid phosphatidylserine has been shown in recent research to reduce excess cortisol levels in hard training athletes. Sensoril Ashwaganda—Helps control exercise stress-related fat retention, as well as supporting and balancing healthy metabolic function. Sensoril has adaptogeni properties to help enhance energy levels and support immune function. Also found to calm nervous system and reduce stress—a major factor in cortisol overproduction and fat retention. L-Theanine—Valuable amino acid that helps diminish stress.
